In sessions she draws on client-centered approaches alongside cognitive behavioral techniques. She also refers to narrative and solution-focused ideas and to trauma-focused work when relevant. That means conversations often center on current problems, patterns from earlier life, and concrete steps to manage symptoms and reactions.

Approaches used and how online sessions work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on clear listening and helping people use their own strengths to address problems. It is useful for relationship issues, family patterns, and self-esteem concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, panic, or mood symptoms. Narrative Therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about their life and family and consider different ways to describe those patterns and move forward.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Treatment choices are made collaboratively and can shift as needs change.
Session format options are not specified here, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by removing commute time, allowing a shorter check-in during a work break, or offering audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt methods like CBT exercises, narrative conversations, and client-centered discussion to an online setting so people can work on family-of-origin patterns and day-to-day coping without rearranging their whole schedule.
